That's what I have been saying, Sony and MS need the PC sales to be able to keep funding their big budget games.
Exact same thing for PC developers... So without consoles, lower budgets for PC games as well. (or higher prices)

And now all need mobile as well to keep their revenues up, hence more and more mobile spin offs.

And no, that last statement makes no sense.

Thats the thing PC has never needed consoles. The devs that did need console and pc made them games weaker on PC and consoles compared to how they where when they where just on PC. So like i said PC never needed consoles but clearly console makers now need PC money no two ways around it.

If PC devs don’t need to make console games, why did franchises like Diablo come to consoles?

It’s the same situation both ways. Devs/publishers want to make more money to keep making high budget games while still making profit, so they’ll go anywhere there are people willing to buy their products.
